About This Book

The volume surveys the Restoration-era English church, tracing anti-Catholic panic and the political-religious crises that shaped royal policy and parliamentary action. It examines prosecutions and high-profile disputes, the Crown's attempts at toleration and the responses of bishops and ministers, and the often severe treatment of Nonconformists. It outlines denominational forms and confessions—Presbyterian, Independent, Baptist, and Quaker—alongside institutional matters such as cathedrals, parish worship, ecclesiastical revenues and courts. The work also addresses theological movements, key Anglican and latitudinarian thinkers, and social dimensions of religion including family life, Sabbath observance, charities, missions and university influence.
